YOUR ROOF. YOUR NEXT STEP.

Care for the roof and the details that frame it

A West Chester commercial roof may be out of sight from the street, but its repair can affect entrances, neighboring walls and the appearance of an older building. Bringing those details together early helps you avoid a proposal that overlooks the difficult parts.

Look at the edges as carefully as the roof surface

Parapets, adjoining masonry and roof-to-wall flashings deserve close attention on an older downtown building. Water can travel through those connections before showing up inside. Ask what the inspection can establish and whether masonry work needs a separate review.

Consider what is happening around the roof, too

If visible roof details will change, check any applicable design review before ordering materials. Discuss staging and public access at the same time so approval and construction planning move together.

Know whether the problem belongs to the roof, wall or both

On an older West Chester building, a new membrane will not automatically correct deteriorated masonry above it. Ask how the investigation separates those possibilities and how any related work would be coordinated. That is a more useful basis for spending than replacing the visible surface by default.

A FEW THINGS YOU MAY BE WONDERING

Before you get started

Do visible roof changes need review?

Requirements depend on the building and proposed changes. Check any applicable design or historic review before selecting materials, especially when edge details or the visible roof profile will change.

Can we stay open while the roof is being worked on?

Often the work can be planned around an occupied building, but the details depend on access, the roof system and the work involved. Tell us which entrances, hours and operations need protection so we can discuss the sequence and any restrictions before the job starts.

What should we do if water is coming in now?

Keep people away from wet electrical equipment and damaged ceilings. If it is safe, protect the affected contents and note where and when the leak appears. Do not climb onto a wet roof. Call (717) 733-0364 to discuss the situation and next steps.
